Re: It's Friday!!!
After watching the weather report this morning...my plans have changed.
If it is dry tomorrow Abe and I will go out and about. I'm debating between Belfast (better on a sunny day), Freeport, Portland, or just Augusta. Maybe we will just stay local and go get groceries and snuggle and play...and save money on gas.
I wanted to go to the greenhouse on Sunday but it looks like it is going to be rainy. Who wants to go to the greenhouse when it is raining??? But it is supposed to rain for the next 7 days.
So...I have no clue what we will do.
Wishing I could be outside today, since the weekend weather is looking less than pleasant...
Today/Tonight: FIL comes into town! DH wants to grill out, so he's picking up steaks and sides on the way home, yum! Probably eating outside if it stays decent, relaxing on the porch and catching up.
Saturday: Picking up donuts in the morning (thanks, Brianne!), and then giving the lads some "man time" so I can go run some errands over on the mainland. If it doesn't rain, we're hoping to all get out and do part of the Cliff Walk and work up an appetite to go check out an awesome Mexican place we've been meaning to try for months. I'll be the 7+ month pregnant girl making moon pie eyes at DH's margarita.
Sunday: I think the day is pretty open- DH doesn't leave until Monday AM, so who knows! Maybe brunch downtown and a walkabout? Whatever the boys want to do!
Happy weekend ladies!

Friday: Working today.
I was supposed to be going to Bar Harbor this weekend with DH. He's going to shoot some video and take some photos for a hotel up there. They were going to let us stay and eat for free. However our plans for a dog sitter fell through and we're too poor to pay for him to stay at a kennel. So DH will be going alone with a friend and I'll be staying home with the dog.
Saturday- I might go check out some yard sales this weekend, get some cleaning and other chores done. If it's nice tomorrow I really want to get outside since it's supposed to rain every day for the next year or so.
Sunday- We're going to DH's family camp to help put the dock in. We're telling his parents about the baby this weekend. So excited!
I know I say this every Friday but I have never been so happy for a work week to end!!!
This afternoon my friend is supposed to be stopping by the office with her new babe - he is 2.5 weeks old and was sooo close to sharing my birthday (he arrived around 1:30 am) - I can't wait to see them!
Tonight - Not sure, it will depend on what time I can lure Matt away from work. I have been craving a hot dog and a campfire. I may see if we can manage to find one or both of those things.
Tomorrow - Grocery shopping, running, and hopefully spending some time with the dudes.
Sunday - Moving some furniture from my parents' house to my apartment and sorting through crap in my old childhood bedroom. That does not promise to be much fun, but oh well - I'll get some laundry done while I'm over there. And I'll probably use the rest of the day to clean house and turn my pantry into a storage closet, which should make room for the furniture I'm bringing over (dresser, desk, book case).
I'm hoping DH & I can go out to eat tonight and celebrate our 6 year dating anniversary... Tomorrow, body pump in the AM and then cleaning/ shopping/ organizing...
Sunday, we have our CD class at the Diaper Lab...
Tonight: Hanging out with peanut and DH. I might stop in at the school's Semi-formal to see all my softball girls dolled up.
Tomorrow: Cleaning, Laundry, some outside work (I have a month to get the backyard ready for Evie's birthday), making Evie's invites.
Sunday: Heading down to Boston on the train to see my brother and to bring Evie to the aquarium. ?
TGIF ladies!
Today running a couple errands after work then hopefully snuggling with all 3 of my boys.
Tomorrow birthday party for a 3 year old, and then dropping the boys off for an overnight with MIL. DH and I are hitting up Bubba's for 90's night. Is it bad that I can't wait? I haven't been out dancing since I was 12 weeks pregnant.
Sunday, sleeping in I hope, church and then cleaning and laundry.
Have a GREAT weekend.
Tonight - Going out to dinner or ordering in for DH's birthday. Then doing some yard work before the weather turns icky!
Tomorrow - Subbing because Augusta has Saturday school to make up for snow days. Possibly going to Bangor for the evening to visit friends, still undecided.
Sunday - Finishing master bedroom so we can finally move to the upstairs part of our house. I'm anxious to do this so I can be closer to my craft room and more likely to use it!
TGIF!!
Today: Heading to Old Navy and to pick up a few more things for Eli's birthday party. Tonight we are baking his cake.
Tomorrow: Going for a run in the morning, then cleaning and party prep most of the day. My BFF and her BF are arriving in the evening. Decorating the cake that night and prepping as much food as possible.
Sunday: Eli's 2nd Birthday party!
Monday: Took a personal day to hang with Eli on his actual b-day. Thinking about heading to the mall to Build-a-Bear and go out to lunch, unless I think of something else for us to do.
Yay!! It's Friday! I'm so glad!
Working today and then tonight headed out to do groceries etc.
Tomorrow I'm taking Taylor up to Bangor, we are picking up my Mom and heading to my neice's birthday party. It's in Ellsworth at 1030. Not looking forward to getting up early. Then I'll visit with a few people in Bangor before I head home.
Sunday will be my quiet day. Probably folding laundry again though!
Today: After work I am taking my dress for the fancy NJ wedding in August to be altered. I need to have the straps taken up and have the bottom hemmed. Then I will head home to do a strength training routine and hang with the fam. After Ridley goes to bed, I have a date with Parks and Recreation, episode #2 from last night.
Saturday: I go back to blond in the morning, which I am totally psyched about. I dye my hair back to brown in the fall/winter every year and I really don't think I like it. I am not sure why I keep doing it. It somehow goes along with Pumpkin Spice Lattes in my mind. Then I need to go through my closet and dresser to weed out the crap that will never fit me again. My sister gave me a bunch of her "old" pants that have been sitting around my bedroom for weeks. It's time to find a place to put them.
Sunday: I want to get my Mother's Day pedicure at some point. We will also need to do groceries.
Yayy Friday!
Tonight I think we are going out in town with friends...one of them mentioned something about taking a cab home - apparently this might get a little crazy!
Tomorrow, chores around the house, a workshop at my local yoga studio, then hanging out with H - probably eating dinner and watching a movie.
Sunday if it's nice enough, we're supposed to float the Androscoggin in our friend's new boat, then we're having people over for dinner.
It'll be a busy weekend, but for a change it's all FUN stuff that I actually want to do!!!
We've been enjoying a few beautiful days in Vermont before heading home in a couple of hours. It has been so great to see friends, have playdates, and be generally in good spirits.
Tomorrow: Swim lessons, graduation party, and no plans tomorrow night
Sunday: Church, garden?, watching baseball....
It's suppose to be pretty crappy this weekend, huh??
Putting my house back together, I hope. We got half of the flooring done last weekend, which is awesome, but I'm quickly approaching the end of my rope with the clutter/general disgustingness that is my home right now. I'm probably going to end up getting rid of a bunch of stuff in subconscious retaliation then realize we really can't get by without pots and pans or something ridiculous like that.
Confession: Has anyone else seen the movie Friday? 'Cause every week when I see someone's "It's Friday!" post, that's what I think of.
Yay for an adult beverage (or 12) after a crappy week! You deserve it!
Aw, thanks!
12 sounds tempting, lol. Hurry up 5 o'clock!!
IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE! START NOW! LOL
11 minutes!!!!
Happy Friday ladies! Sounds like you all have some great plans to get you through what could potentially be a rainy mess of a weekend.
Tonight I'm working until 11, tomorrow we're going to look at more houses... we're in negotiations to purchase a house now but the sellers are being a bit difficult and we're about ready to walk away sooooo... we're going to see what else is out there. No official plans Sunday, possibly brunch with a former coworker who moved to Ireland but is here for a visit. Definitely need to get some spring cleaning in there somewhere.
Tonight: Me + sleeping kids (knock wood) + pizza + wine + cable television = YES. All that's missing is the chocolate.
Tomorrow: I made the mistake of telling Owen that we "might" go to the zoo. He latched on. We're going. I also have three more plants that need planting in the yard.
Sunday: Stupid rain. Bah....who knows.
